Sidhu was hugging the General who is killing our men: Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal

Union minister for food processing industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Thursday took a jibe on at Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu and said, ''Sidhu was hugging the General who is killing our men. He even spent 3 days with him there. Even his photo is out with the terrorist. He has become a Pakistan agent after going there. Rahul Gandhi should clearly state his stand on this.''

Badal's statement comes after the groundbreaking ceremony of Kartarpur Corridor on Wednesday where Sidhu was in attendance along with the union minister.

Earlier Kaur had said that Sidhu seems to be getting more "love and respect from Pakistan than India" after Pak PM Imran Khan in his speech said that Sidhu can also win elections in Pakistan's Punjab.

Badal further said it was an "emotional and a historic" moment for her to attend the ceremony.

"In last 48 hours, I have seen history and miracles taking place in front of my eye. There is so much joy on both sides (India and Pakistan). If the Berlin wall came down, if North and South Korea could settle their differences, if Germany and France can settle their differences, it`s time that our wall of hatred should come down too," she said.
